Onythia, The Lady of the Haze
"They... They will all perish... My children..."
"From deep the ruins of her previous domain, She stirred... Her eyes of the purest white shot open as the life from around her seem to fade, the muttering of prayers long past their meanings passing through her lips. Her life had returned... but what of those who had succumbed to it? To the horror left in it's trail of blight... That haze... It was so black... it seemed to suck the light out of all that had declared their home as Runeterra... And that's when... it... it... " She could only gaze in terror as she saw again, that black haze... Her own skin.
"New History" lesson Before the rune wars, before Shurima's rise and fall, before all of what is known today as Runeterra, there was one unified country called Avis. The peaceful country had existed even before records could recall. Food was plentiful, Wealth was shared, And The Great Father was kind to all in his blessings. The Queen of this land was Lady Onythia, A powerful witch with extensive knowledge of magiks, good and evil. Despite her power, She was the kindest soul in all of Avis. But sadly to say, all was not well in this land. A handsome king by the name of Xerath was Onythia's partner in marriage, and the two had a love of which none could break. They were celebrated as the kindest royalty in all of history. On a summer day, The world they came to know ended. A black haze rolled in from the seas to the northwest. The smell of death crept along with the visual of catastrophe. The haze killed anything in its path, and then reanimated it to spread it's deadly touch. The king and the queen, terrified for their kingdom and the lives within resorted to their last hope, The Seal of Avis. This seal would absorb all of the evil in the land at the sacrifice of one royal blood, but was to only be used in emergencies. Xerath, being a noble king, moved towards the seal, but was pushed out of the way by Onythia, who stepped into the seal. Xerath could only watch in horror as his love's life was drained away. From her gown, she tore a golden disc, framed in a stone hexagon, intricately and ornately carved with runes of only Onythia's knowledge, and hung it by a rope as a necklace onto Xerath's neck. Onythia blessed Xerath with a holy prayer from the book of the Great Father, and was morphed into a large crystal boulder. suddenly their residence, the palace, began to quake and quiver. Black haze seemed to pour in from every crack and opening, all being drawn into the crystal. Xerath knowing he would be killed by the haze if he was there, ran from the palace, only taking one last glance at the former kingdom, seeing the palace collapse, and all of the black haze dissipate. Xerath walked, for many months he lived upon what he could find, eventually ending up in the desert. After a week of travailing the harsh desert, he saw, at the end of the horizon, a disc, much like the one on his chest. he grasped Onythia's gift, and ran towards the horizon. He arrived, and what he saw took him aback, a flourishing desert kingdom, Shurima. Xerath became accustomed to Shuriman life, studying old magiks, and developing ties with the nobles of the kingdom. Xerath, after long studies and practice, he became the most skilled wizard in all of Shurima, even as much so to be recognized by the emperor. he was appointed the official Magus to the emperor. After much time had passed, others began to take notice that Xerath... had not been aging. Xerath, who hadn't even taken notice, began to realize that the gift from Onythia was more than just a gift... The amulet which was ornately carved with runes gave Xerath magic proficiency, and her blessing, eternal life. Xerath watched as the friends he had made and the relationships he had developed die off, and slowly went mad. after the emperor had died, a woman came to the palace, holding a child in hand. The boy looked to be as of 4 years of age, and the spitting image of his father, the emperor. Azir was his name, given to him by his father. See the lore of Shurima for the rest
To sum it all up, Onythia sacrificed herself to save the small amount of survivors left in Avis by absorbing all of the "black haze"(a summoned plague), which originated on an island in the northwest. the shadow isles.
EDITS (comment to recommend)
-
#Onythia is an attack speed support/ mage jungle.
-
#abilities overhauled to be more viable and synergenic with each other
Abilities Passive - Haze Followers minion cap 5/10/15/20 Whenever Onythia kills an enemy minion, it has a 50% chance to reanimate and follow her around, attacking hostile enemies. This works on small minions, but not large. This works on small monsters, but not large or epic. minions personal to a champion are not affected by this passive. Captured minions level as other minions on the map do, and apply a haze debuff that does 50% of the normal debuff. if the target already has the original debuff, once it expires, the weakened debuff is added and vice versa. Q - Necrosis cd: .5s (minions collected focus targets with the haze debuff) Passive (toggle) basic attacks apply a Haze debuff that does 10/20/30/40/50 magic damage (+10% Ap) per second for 2 seconds adding grievous wounds (adds on hit/spell affects) Passive (toggle #2) basic attacks can hit allies, healing them for 1/2 your base attack damage (+2% Ap)(+5 heal per 0.2 bonus As) but applies grievous wounds, reducing healing by 50%(triggers on hit affects to allies, but does not damage them)
W - Queens Blessing Onythia places a large seal on the ground, healing allies and damaging and slowing enemies by 30% in it for 20/30/40/50/60 (+20% Ap) magic damage/heal for 3s captured minions inside the circle gain increasing attack speed
E - Barren Terrain Onythia Releases Black Haze around her for 5s, reversing DOT effects for any enemies and allies **within a small range (allies cannot be damaged by this and enemies cannot be healed) Captured minions are immune to cc and DOT effects while within this cloud the affects of this spell do not affect W ** R - Apocalypse Onythia fractures herself, releasing her blackened crystals and immense power for 8 seconds, reducing her movement speed by 30%/20%/10%, but breaking the ground around her for a large area with each step, slowing enemies by 30% applying the haze debuff, and increasing her Ap by 5% for each enemy champion caught within this ult's range. Minions she has captured are affected by this, being warped and distorted into horrid, terrifying creatures, gaining 30% increased attack damage and 50% increased attack speed (does not stack with W) they remain this way until they are killed or Onythia is killed.
Checks and Counters
Checks
- You essentially change his bleed into healing with E, making his kit hard to use against you unless he has enough damage to counteract your sustain and cooldowns.
- Gangplank's DOT is something that exists by the way. not many people knew that surprisingly. but it heals you with your E active.
-we all have had it happen to us. the TEEMO BOT LANE! so you and your adc are running for your lives, and you hit a 'shroom. Gg right? NOT EVEN CLOSE BUDDY BOY. pop 'dat E and use that 'shroom to heal the both of you. then turn on that little rat and make him regret ever leaving top lane.
pretty much any champion with a DOT effect has the tables turned. but mostly
this guy 
poor fiddles... with Onythia's jungling capabilities, she is the shot through the heart for our beloved scarecrow. one E from her makes his only skill to throw birds at her until the E's stop flowing lest he heal her with his ult, and simultaneously heal her and kill himself with the turntable drain.
Counters.
Unfortunately, this is where your fun comes to an end.
- Lee's ability to separate your from your team with his ult makes you SUPER vulnerable and even targeted for ganks. best thing to do is get some wards, pick a god, and pray.
- see blind douche bag above.
To kill an Onythia, instant burst and distance are recommended. this is one support you don't want to make fun of. or get close to. you might catch something.
Builds, tips, and misc
Support:
or 
, 
this is a standard, mage-y support build. a little bit of health here and there, she isn't that mana intensive, and provides a "get over here adc, go away enemies, oh you came here and now you're stuck here kiddo" outlook on bot lane. being alone bot should be alright too in case your adc leaves or something. the minions you capture will help you hold and even push lane. if your adc has the brain capacity of bread mold, then hey, take charge. you are an independant supp who dont need no adc.
if you want to push for more healing, getting a 
and a 
, the passives and attack speed bonuses will add up and do constant healing.
Jungle:
Ap junglers are a rare breed these days, perceived as weak jungler picks. well,
lets smash that shall we?
Onythia's passive picks up the small minions half of the time, so dealing with jungle camps with your small army of raptors, wolves, kruggs, and blue and red little monsters should be a breeze. at level 5, the number of your minions available increases to 10. dropping your W to slow an enemy for a gank, then following up with your ult and q, followed by an E to kill them on their own pots while they try to walk away from their train wreak of poor vision.
by the end of the game, you lead your minion/monster army of 20 through the jungle and lanes, taking ass and kicking names.
